Betraying Your Home City in EverQuest 2
|
Not liking the denizens or the scenery where your level 17-or less
character makes his home? Have friends calling you to join them
on the other side of Norrath? This guide has what you need
to know to make it happen! (NOTE: spoilers below!)
But first, keep the following in mind:
- The betrayal quests are somewhat difficult and
style="FONT-STYLE: italic">extremely long. For
example, you will lose a shard which you cannot recover for 3 days, and its
possible end up oweing 5 gold to continue the quest if you're not
careful! Make sure you have a good reason for betraying before you do
so, because it's a one-way street; there's no going back once you begin. - Gather everything in your inn room and
style="TEXT-DECORATION: underline">relinquish your inn-room before you begin. If you forget to do so, it's still
possible to sneak back into your ex-city via the sewers, but when you arrive
in your former "village" zone you'll have to dodge the roaming guards. - For several of the quest steps, you'll need help from
the inhabitants in the city you're heading to. Don't have friends in
your new home? Seriously consider creating an alternate character in the
desired city instead of betraying. You'll likely end up with more bang
for your playing time, and the friends you make can help to migrate your
original character later on if you like. - You must begin the betrayal quest before you hit
level 18. It's possible to begin the quest at level 10, but you likely
won't get very far with having to solo lvl 15-16 mobs (the third step of
either betrayal quest). - You won't be able to level past 17 until the quest is
completed, subsequently if you begin the quest at 17, you'll likely hit the
220% experience cap early on and will be wasting a lot of experience.
Therefore, its best to begin the quest around level 15. - You will not have bank or wholesaler priviledges until you
complete the quest, once its begun.
